Today, humanitarian action is increasingly digital, marked by the widespread adoption of digital technologies. In this short paper, Andrea Düchting focuses on new actors and ways of working, digital participation and accountability, the tension between technology and humanitarian principles, data protection and data security challenges, localisation v. centralisation, and fake news, mis- and disinformation.
